Coogee Cafe

Good morning! I am gearing up to do a 3 hour walk to Bondi beach and back from Coogee beach. Should be a nice morning as the weather is even nicer than yesterday! I went to a cafe for my morning coffee and inquired about an iced coffee. "Of course we have iced coffee, the very best in Coogee" he says. Well my friends here is a cultural difference. Iced coffee here is espresso with ice cream and whipped cream. We sorted out the difference before I was stuck with that calorie monster... They just couldn't understand cold coffee... but they have named this morning treat after me... our American Iced coffee is now a Sweet Gianna... they had never heard of a such a thing before! Got to love these differences!

Which brings to mind my lactose intolerance (yes it would have been disastrous for all if i had consumed their version of an iced coffee) but the story is that in Argentina I had a heavenly ice cream and was okay! Strange... I can consume the dairy in Argentina. I tested the waters (the cheese) in Brazil... but not such a good idea. Clair, we should move to Argentina!
